Abstract

Herein, we present a gold nanoparticle (GNP)-based DNA nanosensor to detect the formation of an i-motif from the random coil structure by small molecules at physiological pH. The nanosensor shows a distance dependent fluorescence turn-off response in the presence of a ligand, indicating conformational changes from the C-rich single stranded DNA into an i-motif.
